Lone Wolf and Cub

By -

 When I was younger, my brother and I would attend the Boys Club.  It was fun.  We got to do things and it kept us from wandering Oceanside streets while my mom worked.  The would do trips to parks and baseball games.  I even got autographs one time.  Sometimes, they would do a sleepover at the club.  Those were fun.  They'd have food, games and movies.  I got to see some classics.  One movie I remember was called Shogun Assassin.  It was a Samurai exploitation movie.  It had some graphic violence.  What I did not know until later in life was that Shogun Assassin was a mixtape movie.  Some studio had taken this Japanese movie, of which there were multiple, and cut them down to one movie.  That movie series went under Lone Wolf and Cub.  It is the story of a Samurai whose family and master are killed.  He roams the land with his toddler son seeking revenge, while offering his services to people in need.  Imagine my surprise when I find out that this set of movies is in the Criterion Collection.  I thought there were only high brow award winning films.  I soon found out that they cover a array of different genres.  I had to buy the set.  If you want to see a great series of movies check it out.  I really wish they could remake it.  But, it would have to be similar to the way Shogun has been shot.  I would think it would be an all Japanese cast in Japanese.   I know Hollywood, they would mess it up.  Maybe have Tom Cruise star in it with a bunch of English actors.  They would probably cut the amount of money and tell them to remake Shogun Assassin.

Crazy Chickens

By -
 I'm sitting in my office at home.  All I can hear is the sound of chickens squawking. I think they are trying to encourage me to feed them.  I know when I go out, it will be like Ace Ventura and the animals flocking to him.  I do know they will squawk before laying an egg.  The roosters are non-stop with their calls!

I Feel Lost

By -
 This week, my phone died.  I could not believe it.  I was looking on it and it goes black.  I have my wife look at it.  She gets it to come back to life and updates it to the Icloud.  I start looking at it again.  Then, it dies again.  This time it is for good.  She called TMobile.  They wanted me to enter passwords.  I could not remember them.  They were on the phone.  Eventually, I used my Ipod to access something.  Because it was under a plan we have, I am able to get a new phone.  Only catch is is that it is the same model, Iphone 11.  If I wanted the newest phone, I would have to pay $300.  I went with the same model.  Now I just need to get it.  I find myself lost without my phone.

Stock Manipulation

By -
 Trump is at it again.  Using his power to manipulate stocks.  Yesterday, while stocks were sinking, he announced that the war was almost over.   I doubt that.  He did this to play with the market.  Gas even went down a little.  He probably wishes gas could increase, and the market would do the same.  His family bought in early because of insider information.  I guess corruption is allowed as long as you don't cross the king.  Then, he'd have his puppet in DOJ go after them.
